Why does adding isopropyl alcohol to a crushed aspirin tablet make it a homogeneous mixture?

Adding isopropyl alcohol to a crushed aspirin tablet creates a homogeneous mixture because the isopropyl alcohol dissolves the aspirin particles, resulting in a uniform solution. In this process, the solid aspirin interacts with the liquid alcohol, breaking down its crystalline structure and distributing the aspirin molecules evenly throughout the alcohol. This dissolution leads to a consistent composition throughout the mixture, where the individual components are no longer distinguishable. Thus, the mixture appears uniform and is considered homogeneous.


Does a whole tablet or crushed tablet dissolve faster?

A crushed tablet generally dissolves faster than a whole tablet because the increased surface area of the powder allows for quicker interaction with the solvent (like water). When a tablet is crushed, more of its active ingredients are exposed at once, facilitating a more rapid dissolution. However, the specific formulation of the tablet, including its excipients, can also affect the dissolution rate.
